Agra has a large slum population where UHRC has been working since 11 years. We basti children live among many challenges i.e. interruption in schooling, less education facilities and almost no access to books beyond school, no access to basic learning aids like India's map to understand Geography. There is no practical learning by doing type opportunity available which more fortunate children of well-to-do families have. In this scenario, most of us basti children resign to below par educational outcome. With UHRC's stimulation & motivation we form children-youth groups with nearly equal number of girls, boys. We do many activities i.e. drawing-coloring competitions, essay competitions and play games together. My Adarsh Bal Samooh meets almost every month; undertakes activities such as book reading, discussing solutions to challenges. We gain knowledge and receive stimulation by organization’s work. UHRC’s mobile library has story books, readings about inspirational personalities and other enjoyable reads. At UHRC convened hand-washing session, we distribute leaflets to basti people and other passers-by. We urge people to wash their hands with soap and water at our hand-wash station. This activity encouraged us and helped understand how to mobilize people for a good cause. UHRC brings a new hope for me to trust that we children could unite in a group and support in development of our basti and nation.
